Concepciones socio-políticas sobre la naturaleza y la sociedad en contextos de consolidación del Estado provincial mendocino hacia finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX Martín, Facundo Rojas, Facundo Saldi, Leticia distribución del agua naturaleza proyectos sociopolíticos Estado distribution of water nature sociopolitical projects State In Mendoza, the consolidation of the State was at the end of the nineteenth century, after decimating the indigenous populations from southern. After that the State could extending its sovereignty over these territories. This involved the construction of regional identity and ethnic markers associated with access to key resources such as water and land. In this article, we investigate the hegemonic provincial projects about distribution of water and space from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and its implications for a given social and territorial formation. Sarmiento and “water tamers” were writers, engineers, politicians and officials who thought and action in favour of a modern social institution based on a series of theoretical prescriptions involving a strong control and reorganization of nature, designed to consolidate an agro-economic model of specialization. Far from promoting the achievement of the ideals of modernity, this model implied a social structure associated with a system of capitalist nature, where the water resource was one of the articulators that determined the place of every social group in the model of accumulation that consolidated.  En Mendoza, la consolidación del Estado se dio luego de diezmar a las poblaciones indígenas del sur hacia fines del siglo XIX, extendiendo su soberanía sobre estos territorios. Esto implicó la construcción de una identidad regional que asociaba marcas étnicas con el acceso a recursos clave como el agua y la tierra. En este artículo indagamos sobre los proyectos hegemónicos provinciales acerca de la distribución del agua y del espacio desde finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX y sus implicancias para una determinada formación social y territorial. Sarmiento y los “domadores del agua” fueron escritores, ingenieros, políticos y funcionarios que pensaron y accionaron en pos de una institución del mundo social moderno según una serie de prescripciones teóricas que implicaban un fuerte control y reorganización de la naturaleza, tendientes a consolidar un modelo económico de especialización agroindustrial. Lejos de propiciar el logro de los ideales de la modernidad, este modelo implicó una estructuración social asociada a un régimen de naturaleza capitalista, donde el recurso agua fue uno de los articuladores que determinó el lugar de cada grupo social en el modelo de acumulación que se consolidaba.
